The show was very well received by critics and wrestling fans alike, particularly the Juventud Guerrera vs Blitzkrieg opening match; it is also considered by many wrestling fans and critics as the last well received pay-per-view that WCW produced. In addition, this is the first pay-per-view event to feature the new WCW logo after the previous one was retired six days before.
